Newrez Expands Conforming Loan Limits

October 22, 2021

 

Newrez Raises Conforming Loan Limit Up to $625,000

 

Fort Washington, PA— Newrez LLC (“Newrez”, the “Company”), a national mortgage lending and servicing organization, announced today it will expand conforming loan limits for conventional loans in all states to at least $625,000 across its Direct to Consumer (“DTC”), Joint Venture and Wholesale channels, effective October 22, 2021.

The Company’s expanded conforming loan limit precedes the 2022 baseline national conforming loan limit, which is expected to be announced by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) in November. Newrez’s cap raise on conventional loans from $548,250 to $625,000 allows more borrowers to qualify for larger loan amounts as rates remain low.

“Raising conforming loan limits allows Newrez to serve more borrowers through larger conventional loans rather than jumbo loans, which historically have higher interest rates and are harder to qualify for,” said Jeff Gravelle, Chief Production Officer. “As home prices continue to rise and home values appreciate, the expanded conforming loan limits empower borrowers to have more buying power in today’s market.”
